Everybody knows that Halloween is celebrated around the world on October 31 every year.
Guising, dressing up and dookin' for apples are just some of the fun Scotland has on the last day of October.
But there is one Scottish town that does things a little differently.
Every year, people of one Ayrshire town head to the streets to celebrate Halloween just like everyone else - with one key difference.
Kilmarnock actually celebrates Halloween on the last Friday in October.
Falling on October 29 this year, so-called Killieween will see Kilmarnock residents heading out to go guising or dressing up for the pub.
It is a subtle but perfect switch; making sure that kids and adults can stay out a bit later without worrying about having to go to school the next day.
This year's celebrations fall just two days before the rest of the country - and the world - get their spooky-on.
But the people of Killie celebrate Halloween as early as October 25 some years - that's a whopping six days before October 31.
Theories around this little-known tradition range from the Gaelic festival of Samhain to witches being burned or the clocks going back on the Sunday.
Another suggestion is that the differing date relates to the town's industrial past. The last Friday of the month is payday for most, meaning that Killieween allowed more residents to have the cash the celebrate.
Celebrating on a Friday gives children and adults alike the time to stay up late and party without worrying about work or school the next day.
Whether it be recovering from a sugar overload or a bit of hangover, Killieween Friday seems to make sense.
Despite the theories, it is unknown exactly why Killieween exists.
